  1. P = V^2 / R

    R = V^2 / P

    R = 150^2 / 640 = 35.16 Ohms

    R = V / I

    I = V / R

    I = 150 / 35.16 = 4.27 A


  2. Oh god, this brings back bad memories of science class.

  3. The current is 4.27A and the resistance is around 35 Ohms

    P = U x I and Ohms = U / I

  4. P=I^2R

    640 = (V/R)^2(R)

    640/(150^2) = 1/R

    R = 35 ohms

    I = 4.3 A
